Apparently "cutscenes" are randomized and not play the same way every time. It's not just about having fixed "actors" that change positions and movement, this dog will not appear at all in different medic_needed scenes.

Well I will be getting this, that much is for certain, I'm just not sure if I'll get it for the switch or computer. I'd prefer the computer version, so I might wait a week or two after release and check the feedback first.

I love anime and their cutesy stuff! Sometimes they do take things to the extreme but they(anime/japan/east?) view the world, hence life differently from the west yet at the same time influenced by it as well. What this means in practical terms is that their fantasy sometimes feel fantastic which I find lacking in western fantasy due to my over exposure to western stuff. We all love exploration in our RPG and this does not simply mean hidden loot behind the tree but rather looking at something and going "WTF is this!"

Cmon, when it comes to "cutesy", nothing beats Hollywood's garbage.
When it comes to manga style, anime or videogames, avoid overrated and overhyped garbage. Ditch Nintendo in the closest trashbin if you still haven't.
Also, use subs and not dubs. English voiceover in the first VC was ruining the experience and I still can't believe some people actually finished the game without disabling dub there. Just imagine yourself yelling "vegetables!" in public. For god's sakes.

Other than that it's what @lostforever said. Exotics is already a positive thing of it's own.

It is some what cutesy but at least the one on steam (is that 1 or 3) has serious moments that keeps the game atmosphere in check. Naturally I can't comment on #4 as it hasn't reached the PC yet.

If I remember correctly, my musical selection during the play for this game was Rammstein followed by Lacuna Coil. Watching these sad looking characters hop around to those kinds of tunes was quite amusing!
